T.I. Road To Redemption

In my last blog, I talked about how my mom has been blogging about finding your spiritual path. While we are on that subject, I thought I'd shed some light on it. I never realized how many people are out there who don't know what their purpose is. I feel very fortuanate to actually know, at a young age, what it is I want to do and what is my life's purpose. Who knows? As you get older, you change and your life purpose may shift. But I know that my life's purpose is to make music and heal people through Hip Hop. Not to be on some crazy spiritual stuff, but when I think about it, that's what it all boils down to.

Recently, I have been watching TI's show on MTV called T.I. Road to Redemption. It's one of my favorite shows out right now. Through the problems that T.I. has faced with the law and his impending year and day sentence in prison for gun possession, I believe T.I. has truly found his life's purpose. Other than making great music and being one of the greatest entertainers today, T.I. has found a way to make a strong impact on people. I think it's great that he is able to take the mistakes that he's made and shine positive light on the situation while helping those who are heading in the wrong direction. You should definitely check out the show. It airs every Tuesday night. Besides the show, T.I. has been doing a lot of community service, speaking to the youth about making good decisions. Check out this clip.

My Mom's on Her Blog Game!!

School has definitely been keeping me busy. I've been doing a lot of work trying to keep up with my classes. It's not easy but I'm getting through it. I got a math test tomorrow that I'm not looking forward to. Wish me luck. Anyways, I figure I let you know that my mom has her own blog page lol. You should check it out it's called www.yourspiritualpath.blogspot.com. It's actually very interesting. My mom, along with working in the advertising industry, is a certified holistic health counselor and Reiki master. She's in to spiritual healing. It might sound weird but it's actually very relaxing. If you have had a Reiki session you know what I'm talking about. But on her blog page she talks about finding your spiritual path and how she found hers. She's been sick with pneumonia for the past month or two, so she has been spending a lot of time at home resting and thinking. She decided to get on her blog game lol. If you have the time, you should check out her page though. You might even get some information about me that you might not know lol.

Diddy interviewed Obama 4 Years Ago!! I found this very interesting



I'm loving this interview. I think its mad crazy to be looking back at this old footage. It feels like it was meant to be. Diddy did this interview with PRESIDENT OBAMA when the Kerry and Bush election was taking place. Is Diddy some kind of prophet? lol Who knows but all that matters now is we got a black President!! Happy Obama Day!!!
